Petty Mouse

There's a mouse 
That wanted a house
Her name was Betty
And she was petty
She had a friend named Patty 
Oh, they were both very petty

Petty the Cat

Here is the grave of Petty our pet,
Not a sweeter lady I've ever met. 
To eleven kits she was a dear ma,
For her, I hope cat heaven ain't so far.

Kuiken Little - My Own Baby Chicken

I
Siblings stolen
Why list the nations ills ...
Bring Chicken Little home

II
Kuiken has cage during light
Twilight cheeps, louder -- plaintive --
Back in box, quietest baby

Petty Theft

Petty Theft

Abandoned on a dark and dusty shelf,
a part of her forsaken self,
not forgotten, but a misbegotten
treasure of a stolen Christmas elf.

For today’s blessing…to find some words uplifting
I will take a break and let Tom Petty do the heavy lifting:

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free.

Premium Member Petty People

They try to shrink the world into their 
Deplorable size   
For to magnify their insignificant selves as great men
To appear to be

But

They fall into the abyss of vindictive 
Vanity
Where lost shall they remain into
Eternity!

Roads We Chose


If you travel down the wrong Lane
where humanity is swept away
with hate and viral diatribes
well then you know
Tom Petty
has inseminated his seed
they knock on all doors
if a narrow mind will answer
ring ring
oh ,my hatred sings

do not be a little mind
unless genocide is your thing

Petty People

Petty people lurking, preying on us all
Watching, waiting for someone good to fall
Staying out of sight, but never very far
Thinking they can influence feelings left ajar
Standing tall and strong, never showing fear
Maybe the best reply is to grin from ear to ear
Petty people lurking, hiding who they really are
I won't let them bring me down or leave me with a scar

Tom Petty

When people we admire die,
Of course we mourn and wonder why
Someone so special had to leave;
We cannot know and so we grieve.

The music world and those who rock
Come yesterday received a shock.
Tom Petty’d had a heart attack
And no, he won’t be coming back.

To all his fans, and I am one,
The sinking in has not begun.
To face the passing of Tom Petty
Can’t be done – I’m just not ready.

A festive feast of aired grievances 
faces maroon  and out of control;
Screams breed battered appearances,
this moment our tempers just stole;

Releasing all that tension with a kiss 
now we are locked in a wild explosion;
A fine line between livid and bliss 
in the end teeth, nails, and devotion;

Go on baby and let it all out 
now let your fire burn all over me;
We’ll dig into each other and shout 
nipping away all that is petty.

Premium Member Tomorrow's Petty Pace

Have you given yourself a vow
Not to come for the video chat
Or does it happen undertow 
Like implicit “don’t do that”?
And of course you are aware
Of my waiting – if you call
It will show that still you care
And through stumbling and fall
I will dash into your house
But perhaps I’ll be too much
Mither you with whats and hows
Make you feeling out of touch
All my calls gone into space
And my time goes out as well
Will tomorrow’s petty pace
Bring me something worth to tell?

Big Grief For the Petty Thief

If you long for a licking thrash,
Then, touch a guy's earned cash:
A move ingloriously rash!
And you shall equally clinch a has:
On either cheek a… finishing gash!

The nearest thing to A Trash 
Is eyeing someone’s cash, 
To it in some bank stash…
Teeth shall ceaselessly gnash 
And cornered one’s future dash;
A name lose in a flash 
Or have it mixed up with Ash…
Like it had happened to a Nash 
And it wasn’t a little crash.

For the caught Petty thief,
It is still big grief!
